thank you, ms. piercy. you have been, and continue to be, a light. a light in a time when, no matter the beam, there is darkness lurking about about…
i wish i could take your sadness, if only temporarily. sadness for the dead, for the living, and for those to come. we warrior women must remain. we must rise and rise and stand again and again.

here is to you–and to her and her and her and her. these voices echo in my mind now…and i will continue to follow the sound.

Yes, despite the new emerging voices, the towering poets Marge Piercy honors – Muriel, Audre, Flo, Adrienne – started a conversation that branched into millions more and their voices were at the root of each one, at the root of our growing up the way we have. Suddenly, some of us have started talking to ourselves, murmuring their words. In deep appreciation for all that you are were, and had done, and for those still continuing the conversations, Natalia Muñoz

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Ms. Piercy, for getting to the marrow of this and sharing your gift with us — even in this moment of deep sorrow. Blessings to you always and condolences on your the loss your dearest friend.

The wanting more, and the willingness to speak the wanting more — in grief as well as in love and in meaningful work and in all that life’s abundance offers — that is the truest legacy you all have given us.

A beautiful, wrenching piece. So honored to be teaching Rich’s poems next week and so happy to be able to include this new poem! As a bonus, the next week we start discussing Woman on the Edge of Time in another class. So honored and thankful to share such voices with undergrads!
